Leadership

Ethics: Black & White OR Shades of Grey?

Government employees can lead a very black and white life – with lots of rules, regulations and policies to follow. However, what happens when something falls outside – or between – those rules? When we enter “shades of grey.” Where do you draw the line? Is your line the same as your peers? What if the situation changes…does the line get drawn again? Discover the 3 key areas where ethics can be challenged, hear stories of where things could go really right or really wrong, and test yourself on where to draw the line for yourself and your team? Sound easy? Oh no, be prepared to question yourself and your peers on how they decide to handle tough situations!

Alligator Presentations: How to have a big smile – and tough skin – to present to a tough audience

Giving a presentation is hard. And even harder when facing a tough audience, like a City Council or Board. This session will share the skills to organize your presentation, tell the “story” of your proposal, face the tough questions, and get the approval or votes that are needed. No one teaches you how to present in this way…learn from someone who has faced some tough audiences and survived to share her insights!

Contract Management

Real scenarios will provide the audience to learn through problem-solving and anticipating the unexpected that may occur during a contract.

Learn the nuts and bolts of what makes a good specification and scope of work; Identify vulnerabilities and common problem areas; Discover ways to audit and monitor performance; View the contract from the vendor’s point of view and anticipate problems or issues; Obtain an example of a vendor complaint form with ideas to create your own version and Unveil steps to prepare for the next contract and how to make it even better. Putting a contract in place takes a few months…managing a contract well can take you over the course of several years. That’s where the real value is gained in any contract.
